Bravo | Zulu gets its name from nautical signal flags. By itself the red flag stands for the letter “B” or Bravo in the radio alphabet and when flown by alone by a ship means that “I am loading, unloading or carrying dangerous goods.” This represents the risks that a financial or investment fiduciary is exposed to as they make decisions for others.

 Zulu the multicolored flag by itself stands for the letter “Z” or Zulu and on its own means “I request assistance.” This represents the fiduciary’s duty to seek and use prudent experts when managing the assets of others.

 When the Bravo and Zulu flags are flown together, they have the meaning of “well done” or “great job.” This symbolizes the result of applying the specialized expertise of a consulting company like ours to the unique challenges faced by fiduciaries.
